The Balé Phnom Penh is one of a kind! An absolute sanctuary away from the city chaos right on the Mekong. Minimalist design, massive and super comfy rooms, and top-tier service. Perfect spot to disconnect and unwind. We went there for my own wedding venue, and it was simply magical. An incredible setting to celebrate such a special moment—everything was just flawless. The team was incredible from start to finish, professional, caring, and truly made sure everything went off without a hitch. Huge thanks to everyone for making our day unforgettable!

This hotel is absolutely beautiful! The pool view is especially stunning, and the staff are all very friendly and welcoming. However, during the rainy season, the bedding can feel quite damp, making the stay a little less comfortable.

The location is lovely and as you arrive there’s a real wow feeling. The service is excellent and the whole team are delightful.The pool was beautiful and the gardens were really lovely. It was really quiet when we were there so the restaurant was often empty besides us which felt a bit strange. The food was fine but could have been hotter, it felt that presentation took priority over heat. The prices in the restaurant seemed quite high.I love the idea that this place is eco friendly however if guests are expected to top up water bottles the water stations should be clean and inviting.The gym was a bit scruffy and not inviting but then I wasn’t there for that! The place is relatively new however there were definite signs of the rooms being tired but I think if cleaned more would make the place look spectacular - which I guess is the desired effect. Eg. Our courtyard was very scruffy and not welcoming. The TV wasn’t working and the windows in the apartment desperately needed cleaning. Some little touches and attention to detail would bring this back to the 5* glory that it should be. Overall we enjoyed our stay and hope that the management team take my comments on board because I think it could be fabulous.

I stayed at The Bale for a week on a work trip. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, which made a difference for a longer visit. The food was a highlight, both breakfast and dinner were great, especially the fresh juices, which were a great start to the day. I also really appreciated that the hotel agreed to an extended checkout free of charge since I had a night flight, which made my departure easier. The only downside was mosquitoes and many small lizards that came out at night. Took some adjusting through a place I’d book again.

We had a wonderful stay at The Bale Phnom Penh. The property is peaceful, elegant, and beautifully designed, with a real sense of privacy and calm just outside the city. The room was spacious and refined, the atmosphere very relaxing, and the service was attentive from start to finish. We especially enjoyed the riverside setting, the pool area, and the overall feeling of being in a quiet luxury retreat while still being close to Phnom Penh. A beautiful place for a relaxing escape, and definitely one of the most elegant stays near the city.

Where can I eat near The Bale Phnom Penh Resort?

Dine at the hotel's own restaurant, Theato, for Khmer and international dishes, or head to its bar for drinks. For a local noodle option, try គុយទាវព្រៃជីសាក់, though it's near the airport, so plan for a taxi or tuk-tuk ride. The hotel also has a restaurant and bar on site, perfect for a relaxed meal by the river. If you want variety, the nearby Crowne Plaza Phnom Penh by IHG offers dining options too. Take a short ride to explore more local eateries along the riverfront.

What is the area around The Bale Phnom Penh Resort like?

You are on National Road 6A along the Mekong River, so the setting is quiet and leafy, with the hotel's own grounds and riverside deck as the main focus. The closest landmark is Koh Dach Health Center nearby, and the Phnom Penh Safari is 5.9 km away for a day trip. The city's main sights, like Wat Phnom Daun Penh and the Royal Palace, are roughly a 12 to 14 km trip, so plan for a car or ride to reach them. The hotel itself has a restaurant and bar, good for staying put and soaking in the river views. It feels like a retreat from the city center, not a walkable neighbourhood.

How do I get to The Bale Phnom Penh Resort from the airport or main train station?

From Phnom Penh International Airport, the easiest way is to take a taxi or use a ride-hailing app; the hotel also runs an airport shuttle. From Phnom Penh Railway Station, a taxi will get you to the resort in a short drive along National Road 6A. The GST Bus Station is also nearby, so a taxi from there works just as well. The resort sits right on the river, and drivers know the area well. Just ask for National Road 6A, Bridge No. 8. Your ride will be straightforward.

What's there to do near The Bale Phnom Penh Resort in the evening?

In the evening, the resort itself is the main draw: Theato Restaurant serves Khmer and international dishes, and the riverside Bar is a relaxed spot for a drink under the palms. For a change of scene, the city center is about 13 km away, where you'll find the riverside night market and lively streets around Wat Phnom and the Royal Palace. A tuk-tuk or taxi from the hotel gets you there easily. If you prefer to stay close, the resort's outdoor pool area is a pleasant place to unwind after dark.

Is The Bale Phnom Penh Resort a good base for exploring Phnom Penh?

The resort sits along the Mekong, well away from the city center, so it is a peaceful base rather than a walkable one. Phnom Penh Safari is 5.9 km away, while Wat Phnom Daun Penh, Sisowath Riverside Park, the National Museum, Royal Palace Park, Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda, and Wat Botum Park are all between 12.4 and 14.1 km. Those main sights need a car, ride-hailing, or a pre-booked tour to reach comfortably. The hotel’s own restaurant and bar cover dining on site, and the riverside setting makes for a calm start or end to a day of exploring. Plan trips into town in blocks, and you will cover the highlights well.
